Sammy

Biography: The pic is Sammy with her "little" big sister Gracie. Another one of Gods creatures "surrendered" or thrown away like trash. She also came from 2nd Chance Rescue like Wendy. So far I have learned that she never had a lot of room to just run. She loves it. Gets along with the other two. She is not a replacement for Wendy, but another little soul that needs love and a forever home. Since she is pretty new here, she is my shadow, but I am sure with time and a bit more of security on her behalf, this too shall pass. One thing I am not sure that will go away, she is scared of men. I had my son, Mike approach her yesterday. She will let him near if he comes from the side, as most dogs who are scared. I am sure she can sense that something had happened here, but she will not pay for it. So, I have to restrain myself from spoiling her, cause it would not help her in the longrun.
07/12/10 Got in touch with her old vet, at least the one on her tag. I needed to know for sure if she ws spayed. She acted like it, but the shelter had said she was not, well, turns out she IS spayed. So, I was asking about allergies, you know stuff I should be aware of. And I get the shock of a lifetime. Last time they heard from the "previous" owner was in Dec '09. And you will never believe for what, a SEIZURE!!!! At least that's what the owner thought. Since they would not bring her in, the vet is not sure if it was a seizure or she just fainted. I told the tech what I just went through with Wendy and after she extented her condolences she said " For her it's the best place, sadly you have experience with real seizures vs a simple fainting spell. She is exactly where she needs to be with the right person". So, I guess I found my vet. Seems he doesn't just write out scripts for narcs without seeing the dog and running tests. Which is exactly what I needed or rather, it was what Wendy should've had.

She reminds me so much of Wendy, not that she is a replacement. She follows me closer then my own shadow, she sleeps as close to the bed as she can, she tries to jump on me like Wendy used to. The Administrator from 2nd Chance certainly knew who she had in mind for me when she emailed me.

She is such a goober..LOL. The whole entertainment committee wrapped in one. This summer I had to totally clip her down, I had never seen a hot spot, but she had like 4. And she licked all her hair off in less then 24 hrs. I trie all kind of things form the store. Wanna know what finally did the trick? Easiest home remedy after all. Black tea bags. The acid in the tea dried the spots right out and within 24 hrs we had scabs. Except by then I had already clipped her. She was just too funny. After I let her off the table, she jumped around as if she was some kind of deer. It sure looked to everybody that she must like her short hair. I am not going to clip her in the winter time, but as soon as spring comes around, I will clip her back down, she just simply seems happier. Don't get me wrong, I love, love her long hair, but the poor thing was so hot. So, after I cut it, I would touch her skin when she'd come in and it would be cool to the touch. So, I know she is happy. She has taken it upon herself to herd Ellie around, except Ellie doesn't want to be herded. You can see it on her face, it's almost as if she is telling Sammy "Go find some sheep and leave me alone". They both love to just lay outside in the sun. And I dare anyone to get them in without a treat.
But they are all good. Doing good, happy girls. And as for Sammy, full of energy. I would just love to know what she and Ellie are, but payng for DNA for 2 dogs for nothing else but to satisfy my curiousity, it's just not worth it.
We'll talk later again.
